Who are we?
VitaComm Education is a small, family-owned private enterprise rooted in community, responsibility, and lifelong learning. Founded by Crystal-Jade and Vasili, VitaComm stands for “community for life.” Their mission is to give back meaningfully—not just through expertise in Education and Technology, but by investing time and energy into the communities they serve. Believing it takes a village to raise a child, VitaComm supports youth holistically by empowering teachers, parents, and organizations through training-based support systems. Their initiatives promote 21st-century life skills and align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, aiming not just to teach, but to transform. What sets them apart is a hands-on, heart-led approach. Crystal-Jade and Vasili see themselves as a small part of a larger puzzle—committed to doing their part ethically, responsibly, and wherever needed.
